Don't you love me?



So, is this a good excuse for not posting new stuff?? LOL I just had to take a picture of Nikki. He was just begging for some love! I was actually working at my desk, something I don't do much because I have two big tables set up to scrap. I am a table hog! So, I usually end up at the tables instead of my desk. But, I was attempting to stamp here and he decided he was more important and just plopped himself down in the middle of my creative mess. He was purring, so...it was all okay! This picture can also count as a sneak peek into my office. I am still planning on posting some pictures if and when I get it in photo ready condition. It is close! I just need to make some labels and....move the cat!
Here is one of the cards I was playing around with when I was so rudely interrupted. ;o). I just barely got the Monkey Business set on Saturday. It was one of SEVEN new sets I earned during Sellabration. I was going to wait and use my SAB points til after the retiring list came out but...I just couldn't wait! I had so much fun playing with these stamps! The monkey is just TOO cute! I used barely banana as the card base, layered a piece of chocolate chip cardstock across the middle and then a layer of patterned paper from the spring showers set. I stamped my monkey and the words on white using chocolate chip and then used the blender pens to add some blush blossom to the monkey's tummy and snout. The heart behind the words is stamped with summer sun. I used my scallop shears along the bottom of the card and then sponged summer sun there and across the top of the card. It is all tied together with some chocolate ribbon. I think this set is just too much fun! I made several cards and have plans for a fun scrap page too!

So adorable. Is this card a 5 x 5 ? Beth and I think your cat is adorable. That is just what my cat, Cosmo does!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
